BioArt Pioneer

Joe Davis was making bioart before the rest of us knew what it was. A current article/slideshow in Slate, called "Fishing for Paramecia" discusses his practice and profiles several of his inventive projects, including the Audiomicroscope, which makes audible the sounds of microscopic creatures using a laser and a solar cell receiver and Microvenus, in which an image is genetically encoded into ecoli bacteria.

DNAgraphy are images Joe Davis made of nudes which use DNA as a photographic emulsion.
